Design conditions posed difficult problems in construction of two fractionating towers, since towers were tall and closely spaced, soil consisted of weak clay, horizontal forces were to be based on hurricane winds and aerodynamic vibrations; 50 ft diam octagon was found to satisfy all load combinations; vertical bars and keyed construction joint mat and pedestal together; design of anchor bolts.
